Life Outside The North End Bubble

A reader emails me:

Hi Dave…..recent arrests in the boro for March, 34 defendants…5 of 34 from Belmar.
Serious criminal charges….assaulting a police officer, disorderly conduct, simple assault, possession of drugs with intent to use or sell. The location of most of these arrests occurred on Main Street and Belmar Plaza. The bars are attracting this unlawful crowd of people. Who wants to walk on Main Street/Belmar Plaza with the build up of criminal activity ? This is going to hurt Belmar business owners…

Eric Tobin , 36, of Neptune City was arrested three times ! March 8th, March 9th, March 11th…at 8th Ave, at Belmar Plaza, and on Main Street for for charges of disorderly conduct. Ugh? Obviously this guy has “issues” perhaps mental instability. If he is a danger
to himself or other people, why is he “roaming” around Belmar?

Also in Thursday’s Coast Star page 6 “Indictment over alleged assault in Belmar Plaza”
A woman from Brick assaulted two people , punched and kicked one of the victims in the face repeatedly knocking out two front teeth..then threw thd victims cell phone to the ground shattering it. The woman was from Brick…I wonder if she was in the Plaza to sell/ buy drugs or drunk from one of the nearby bars? I notice there are more people than usual loitering in the plaza… Perhaps the Police Dept should offer self defense classes for different age groups and a women only self defense class.

The residents of Belmar better wake up! Why is it non residents know more about what’s happening in Belmar regarding Doherty and council? I have spoken to a few residents about the $10 million lawsuit? They laugh it off.. I said you won’t be laughing when you pay for the legal fees!

I would take a self defense class as soon as a suitable one is offered.

    #10 – It all depends on what you mean when you say the “safe.” All men women and children are here together on this planet. That means they’re susceptible to everything and anything everyone else is. I’m not what could be called edumacated, but finally figured it out. No one gets out of this world alive.

    #7 Tulip It has to do with the type and nature of the complaints. Federal is a higher court than state.

    #12 – Sir, Let me clarify something. The federal court isn’t a “higher” court. There are things in the jurisdiction of both the state and federal courts. Somehow this was accepted by the federal court as being in its jurisdiction (I don’t understand that – seems to me a local matter). The Harmon’s lawyer I’m sure thought he’d do better in the federal court than the state court (probably right) so brought the suit there.
